You are forgetting that Obama only graduated due to the evils of Affirmative Action

Yes, there are lazy people, too. But to simply assume that anyone can get any job and fulfill any dream they want just with hard work and attitude and that the government should never help those less fortunate (with health care, food, housing, etc.) is so inhuman I could retch. The The Republicans with their "survival of the fittest and richest" attitude make me sick.
If it wasn't due to the safety net George Romney would not lived the life he lived, because for several years as a child him and his parents were on federal assistance. The reason was George Romney parents lived in a Mormon colony in Mexico, they then later fleed Mexico due to the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920 drastically increased violence near the colony and it was no longer safe for George's Family, because of this they came to the US with very little for they were economic refuges.
Same thing for Barrack Obama, his mother was on food stamps for a couple years and it was due to federal assistance that Obama and his family got by.
Without that safety net do you think Obama would have gained enough knowledge to graduate from Harvard and Columbia. Do you think without a safety net that George Romney would have gained enough knowledge to become a CEO of an major industrial company (George Romney had some college but never graduated).
Of something like that.

Unemployment is either the fault of people too lazy to work, or Obamas fault.

Even granting the first part, extending unemployment insurance 6 months=/=4 years of 8% unemployment

Actually, there was one other Obama "entitlement:" He gave out a lot of small business loans.

Oh, but do not forget: If you make $200,000-$250,000/year you are also "middle class."

It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid.

I guess his is perhaps a true "politically incorrect" comment (much as I hate that phrase)?
